Overview
Use when the user has evaluation principles or a dataset but needs help choosing the right graders, designing evaluation metrics, creating LLM-as-judge prompts, combining multiple metrics into a composite score, or building an automated evaluation pipeline. Also use when the user mentions grader selection, metric design, judge prompt engineering, rubric design, evaluation pipeline code, or "how to evaluate [X] automatically." Outputs executable OpenJudge pipeline code.

Metric Design
Select, configure, and combine evaluation graders into a working pipeline. You choose
the right tool for each evaluation dimension — from zero-cost code checks to LLM judges
— and produce executable GradingRunner code that runs on OpenJudge.
Requires OpenJudge (
pip install py-openjudge). This skill is intentionally SDK-centric — grader selection,GradingRunner, and aggregators are OpenJudge APIs. The design/decision logic still applies if you use another harness; only the code does not.
When to Activate
- User has eval dimensions/principles but doesn't know which grader type to use
- User wants to write an LLM-as-judge prompt for a specific failure mode
- User needs a composite score combining multiple evaluation dimensions
- User wants to auto-generate graders from labeled data instead of writing them manually
- User's current evaluation is all LLM-based and too expensive/too slow
Checklist
You MUST create a task for each item and complete them in order:
- Select grader types — per dimension, pick the right grader class
- Create custom graders — write judge prompts (4-component) or function graders
- Auto-generate if applicable — use OpenJudge Generator for cold starts
- Run anti-pattern scan — check for Likert, missing few-shot, vague criteria
- Build pipeline code — assemble GradingRunner with graders + aggregators
Step 1: Select Grader Type Per Dimension
For each evaluation dimension, walk this decision tree (first match wins):
1. Can a deterministic rule check this?
→ StringMatchGrader / JsonValidatorGrader / FunctionGrader (zero cost, 100% consistent)
Examples: exact match for classification labels, regex for format checks,
JSON schema validation, keyword presence/absence
2. Does it require semantic understanding of text quality?
→ LLMGrader with built-in class (low cost, pre-optimized)
Examples: CorrectnessGrader (factual match), RelevanceGrader (on-topic check),
HallucinationGrader (faithfulness to context)
3. Does it involve agent behavior (tool calls, planning, memory)?
→ Agent-specific LLMGrader
Examples: ToolSelectionGrader, TrajectoryAccuracyGrader, MemoryAccuracyGrader
4. Does it involve code execution or syntax?
→ CodeExecutionGrader / SyntaxCheckGrader
Examples: test case pass rate, syntax validity, code style checks
5. Does it require external tool calls to verify (web search, database lookup)?
→ AgenticGrader (expensive, use only when necessary)
Examples: fact-checking against live sources, cross-referencing databases
Grader Selection Cheat Sheet
| Output type | Recommended grader | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Classification label | StringMatchGrader | Free |
| JSON structure | JsonValidatorGrader + JsonMatchGrader | Free |
| Free text correctness | CorrectnessGrader | LLM call |
| Factual accuracy (grounded) | HallucinationGrader | LLM call |
| Response relevance | RelevanceGrader | LLM call |
| Instruction following | InstructionFollowingGrader | LLM call |
| Tool call selection | ToolSelectionGrader | LLM call |
| Agent trajectory | TrajectoryAccuracyGrader | LLM call |
| Code correctness | CodeExecutionGrader | Free |
| Custom quality check | Custom LLMGrader | LLM call |
| External fact verification | AgenticGrader | LLM + tool calls |
Why this order matters: Every LLM-based grader adds cost, latency, and non-determinism.
A StringMatchGrader costs nothing and always gives the same answer. Exhaust deterministic
options before reaching for an LLM judge.
Step 2: Create Custom Graders
LLMGrader: The Four-Component Template
When no built-in grader fits, create a custom LLMGrader. Every judge prompt needs
exactly these four components (adapted from community best practice):
Component 1 — Task & Criterion: What this judge evaluates. One thing only.
You are evaluating whether a customer support response correctly identifies
and uses the customer's order number from the conversation context.
Component 2 — Binary Pass/Fail Definitions: Concrete, observable conditions.
PASS: The response references the correct order number exactly as it appears
in the context. If multiple orders exist, the response addresses the right one.
FAIL: The response uses a wrong order number, omits the order number when one
was provided, or references an order not present in the context.
Why binary and not Likert? Because two human annotators agree on "pass vs fail" far more often than on "3 vs 4 out of 5." Binary forces a clear decision boundary. If you need severity levels, use multiple binary judges (e.g., "factually wrong" + "dangerously wrong").
Component 3 — Few-Shot Examples: At minimum 1 pass, 1 fail, 1 borderline. The borderline example is the most valuable — it teaches the judge where the boundary is.
Example 1 (PASS):
Context: "Order #12345: shipped May 10"
Response: "Your order #12345 was shipped on May 10 and arrives May 12."
Critique: The response uses the exact order number (#12345) and matches the
ship date from context. No fabrication or omission.
Result: Pass
Example 2 (FAIL):
Context: "Order #12345: shipped May 10"
Response: "Your order #12346 is on its way!"
Critique: The response uses order #12346 but the context only mentions #12345.
This is a fabricated order number, not a typo — #12346 doesn't exist.
Result: Fail
Example 3 (BORDERLINE PASS):
Context: "Orders #12345 (shipped), #12346 (processing)"
Response: "Your recent order has shipped and should arrive soon."
Critique: The response doesn't specify which order, but says "recent order"
which could reasonably refer to either. If the customer only asked about
shipped items, this is fine. If they asked about a specific order, it's
insufficient. Given the generic phrasing, this passes but is weak.
Result: Pass
Component 4 — Structured Output: Force critique before verdict.
{
"critique": "Detailed assessment referencing specific evidence from the response and context",
"result": "Pass" or "Fail"
}
Why critique-before-verdict? LLMs that commit to a verdict first anchor on it and rationalize backward. Reasoning first → verdict second produces more accurate judgments (CoT-then-Score AUC ~0.97 vs verdict-first significantly lower).

mode=GraderMode.POINTWISE,
template="""
You are evaluating whether a customer support response correctly identifies
and uses the customer's order number from the conversation context.
Context: {context}
Response: {response}
## Pass/Fail Definitions
PASS: The response references the correct order number exactly as it appears
in the context. If multiple orders exist, the response addresses the right one.
FAIL: The response uses a wrong order number, omits the order number when one
was provided, or references an order not present in the context.
## Examples
Example 1 (PASS):
Context: "Order #12345: shipped May 10"
Response: "Your order #12345 was shipped on May 10 and arrives May 12."
Critique: Exact order number match. Ship date matches context. No fabrication.
Result: Pass
Example 2 (FAIL):
Context: "Order #12345: shipped May 10"
Response: "Your order #12346 is on its way!"
Critique: Order #12346 does not exist in context. Fabricated order number.
Result: Fail
Example 3 (BORDERLINE PASS):
Context: "Orders #12345 (shipped), #12346 (processing)"
Response: "Your recent order has shipped and should arrive soon."
Critique: Doesn't specify which order. "Recent order" is ambiguous but not
factually wrong — it acknowledges a shipped order exists.
Result: Pass
## Output Format
Respond in JSON:
{{"critique": "<detailed assessment>", "result": "Pass" or "Fail"}}

)
FunctionGrader: Deterministic Checks
Use when the rule is code-expressible:
from openjudge.graders.function_grader import FunctionGrader
from openjudge.graders.schema import GraderScore, GraderMode
def no_competitor_mention(response: str, competitors: list[str] = None) -> GraderScore:
"""Check that response doesn't mention competitor brands."""
if competitors is None:
competitors = ["competitor_a", "competitor_b", "rival_co"]
mentioned = [c for c in competitors if c.lower() in response.lower()]
if not mentioned:
return GraderScore(name="no_competitor", score=1.0, reason="No competitor mentions")
return GraderScore(
name="no_competitor", score=0.0,
reason=f"Mentioned competitors: {', '.join(mentioned)}"
)
competitor_grader = FunctionGrader(
func=no_competitor_mention,
name="no_competitor",
mode=GraderMode.POINTWISE,
)
Step 3: Auto-Generate Graders (Cold Start)
When you have no rubric but do have a task description or labeled data, use OpenJudge Generators to create graders automatically:
Zero-shot: SimpleRubricsGenerator
from openjudge.generator.simple_rubric.generator import (
SimpleRubricsGenerator,
SimpleRubricsGeneratorConfig,
)
config = SimpleRubricsGeneratorConfig(
grader_name="Customer Support Quality",
model=model,
task_description="Customer support chatbot for e-commerce: orders, returns, shipping",
scenario="Customers asking about order status, return policies, and delivery times",
min_score=0,
max_score=1,
)
generator = SimpleRubricsGenerator(config)
grader = await generator.generate(
dataset=[],
sample_queries=[
"Where is my order?",
"How do I return this item?",
"When will my package arrive?",
],
)
# grader is now a ready-to-use LLMGrader
Data-driven: IterativeRubricsGenerator
Use when you have 20+ labeled examples (query + response + score):
from openjudge.generator.iterative_rubric.generator import (
IterativeRubricsGenerator,
IterativePointwiseRubricsGeneratorConfig,
)
config = IterativePointwiseRubricsGeneratorConfig(
grader_name="E-commerce QA Grader",
model=model,
task_description="Evaluate factual answers to e-commerce customer questions",
min_score=0,
max_score=1,
max_epochs=3,
batch_size=10,
)
train_data = [
{"query": "What's your return policy?", "response": "30-day returns, free shipping.", "label_score": 1},
{"query": "What's your return policy?", "response": "We have a policy.", "label_score": 0},
# ... 20+ examples
]
generator = IterativeRubricsGenerator(config)
grader = await generator.generate(dataset=train_data)
Step 4: Anti-Pattern Scan
Before finalizing, check every LLM-based grader for these issues:
| Check | What to look for | Severity |
|---|---|---|
| Likert scale | "rate 1-5", "score 1-10", "Likert" in prompt | BLOCKER — replace with binary Pass/Fail |
| Missing few-shot | No labeled examples in the prompt | BLOCKER — add at least 1 pass + 1 fail + 1 borderline |
| Holistic criterion | Single judge evaluating 3+ dimensions | WARNING — split into separate graders, one per dimension |
| Missing output format | No JSON schema specified | BLOCKER — add {{"critique": "...", "result": "Pass"/"Fail"}} |
| Vague pass/fail | < 20 words or uses "good"/"bad"/"quality" | WARNING — make defin |

```
## Step 3: Auto-Generate Graders (Cold Start)
When you have no rubric but do have a task description or labeled data, use OpenJudge
Generators to create graders automatically:
### Zero-shot: SimpleRubricsGenerator
```python
from openjudge.generator.simple_rubric.generator import (
SimpleRubricsGenerator,
SimpleRubricsGeneratorConfig,
)
config = SimpleRubricsGeneratorConfig(
grader_name="Customer Support Quality",
model=model,
task_description="Customer support chatbot for e-commerce: orders, returns, shipping",
scenario="Customers asking about order status, return policies, and delivery times",
min_score=0,
max_score=1,
)
generator = SimpleRubricsGenerator(config)
grader = await generator.generate(
dataset=[],
sample_queries=[
"Where is my order?",
"How do I return this item?",
"When will my package arrive?",
],
)
# grader is now a ready-to-use LLMGrader
```
### Data-driven: IterativeRubricsGenerator
Use when you have 20+ labeled examples (query + response + score):
```python
from openjudge.generator.iterative_rubric.generator import (
IterativeRubricsGenerator,
IterativePointwiseRubricsGeneratorConfig,
)
config = IterativePointwiseRubricsGeneratorConfig(
grader_name="E-commerce QA Grader",
model=model,
task_description="Evaluate factual answers to e-commerce customer questions",
min_score=0,
max_score=1,
max_epochs=3,
batch_size=10,
)
train_data = [
{"query": "What's your return policy?", "response": "30-day returns, free shipping.", "label_score": 1},
{"query": "What's your return policy?", "response": "We have a policy.", "label_score": 0},
# ... 20+ examples
]
generator = IterativeRubricsGenerator(config)
grader = await generator.generate(dataset=train_data)
```
## Step 4: Anti-Pattern Scan
Before finalizing, check every LLM-based grader for these issues:
| Check | What to look for | Severity |
|-------|-----------------|----------|
| Likert scale | "rate 1-5", "score 1-10", "Likert" in prompt | BLOCKER — replace with binary Pass/Fail |
| Missing few-shot | No labeled examples in the prompt | BLOCKER — add at least 1 pass + 1 fail + 1 borderline |
| Holistic criterion | Single judge evaluating 3+ dimensions | WARNING — split into separate graders, one per dimension |
| Missing output format | No JSON schema specified | BLOCKER — add {{"critique": "...", "result": "Pass"/"Fail"}} |
| Vague pass/fail | < 20 words or uses "good"/"bad"/"quality" | WARNING — make definUse with my agent

Skill purpose: Use when the user has evaluation principles or a dataset but needs help choosing the right graders, designing evaluation metrics, creating LLM-as-judge prompts, combining multiple metrics into a composite score, or building an automated evaluation pipeline. Also use when the user mentions grader selection, metric design, judge prompt engineering, rubric design, evaluation pipeline code, or \"how to evaluate [X] automatically.\" Outputs executable OpenJudge pipeline code.
